Since candidates and representatives like Representative Polis have been accepting crypto donations, we know at least some members of Congress are familiar with crypto. And that speaks volumes for crypto's credibility in the public eye. Members of Congress can slam Bitcoin all they want, but if we find out they own any, those arguments lose any and all force.

The disclosure of crypto ownership disclosure would boost the reality that crypto is a new asset class that’s here to stay. Now that Congress has been called out by one of its own, if members don’t disclose or disclaim ownership, they’ll lose face.

I would love to see Congress members asked point-blank in hearings if they own crypto, wouldn’t you?
